It was a little while later when the duo, now a trio, were in the Headmaster's office.

"Why are we doing this?" Zero ground out tiredly. "We're supposed to be security, not bodyguards for celebrities! Couldn't you at least increase the number of people in this committee? All I've got is this girl," he pointed to Yuki, "and she's useless."

"Zero, that is rather harsh," Hayami frowned. "Yuki, dear, you could never be useless," she said, reaching up to pat her head.

"That won't happen," Headmaster Cross said, taking a sip of some hot chocolate Hayami had prepared. "It's our job to keep the Night Class's true identity a secret. I mean, that's why the school is set up the way it is! To keep the Night Class and the Day Class as separate as possible. You three are the only ones who I can trust with such a critical duty.

"I know that it's a lot of work and that it's a thankless task. But by giving this job to my dear son and darling daughters, I alleviate any source of guilt," he finished, beaming.

"I don't remember agreeing to be your son!" Zero snapped, slamming down his fist and splitting the table. "Your actually his daughters, why don't you try to talk some sense into him?" he sighed, looking to the girls.

"Well, I think the Night Class is doing a pretty good job getting along with the Day Class. I really don't mind having to help out," she added with a smile.

"You make me so proud!" he cried, going to hug the girls. He cooed as he snuggled Hayami, while Yuki sighed in exasperation. He then started going on a tirade of his pacifist ideology about living in a world where vampires and humans coexist peacefully.

Zero angrily left the room to do his rounds. It was then that their father sighed.

"Don't you worry, father, it's going to work out, especially since Kaname is a perfect example of vampires striving for the same future," Hayami smiled. Yuki beamed and agreed.

"Just leave it to us guardians! We've got it all under control," Yuki called out passionately. Hooking her arm into Hayami's, Yuki dragged her out the door to continue their rounds.

It wasn't until they were a few moments into patrol outside that Yuki slowed down. She seemed deep in thought, and Hayami was very still as she let Yuki process her thoughts. Eventually, they made it to a stone archway where Yuki leaned against the wall and sighed.

"Oh, hello," a warm voice said. Hayami, having been looking at Yuki, had seen the two approaching. "Thank you for all your hard work," the vampire smiled. His straight blond hair was sleek, and his deep green eyes fell on the two girls.

Yuki, in surprise, bowed at his words before running off quickly.

"Pardon me, but as I'm new to the committee I must follow my mentor," Hayami smiled gently, about to run off when Kaname suddenly had her stilled in his arms.

"Hayami, please do take care of yourself. Remember to take it easy," he said, looking deeply into her eyes.

She smiled at him, stepping back gently before bowing in gratitude again.

"Thank you for always taking care of me," she smiled, before she walked to where Yuki had disappeared.

A beautiful ornate fountain came into her line of sight with a familiar head of brown halfway in a stream of water.

"Are you alright?" Hayami asked, easing Yuki backwards to stand to her full height. She looked into the girl's eyes with an inquisitive look. Her eyes suddenly lit up as she clapped her hands.

"I'm alright! I'm all better," she beamed determinedly. She then led the way of her usual rounds.

The girls walked for a good while through the woods, around the perimeter of the school building, and even on the balconies. It was a few hours later when Yuki eased her back to the school gates.

"The class is about to head back to their dorms," Yuki smiled, walking arm-in-arm with Hayami.

This time, the Night Class students were walking in a way that wasn't as flashy as before. Kaname looked to the girls before motioning the others to go on ahead.

"Yuki, may I please have a word with Hayami alone?" he asked her with a kind smile.

"O-Of course, Kaname!" she stuttered, bowing quickly before giving her sister a hug and dashing off. "Have a good night, Hayami!"

Hayami giggled at her sister's antics before facing Kaname once more. He had a smile on his lips as he looked at her.

"How may I be of service?" she smiled, looking up at his towering form.

"I have spoken with your father. I am worried of your safety being in the disciplinary committee," he frowned. He reached forward, reaching a finger into a chunk of blond hair by her shoulder. He let his fingers slide through the silky-smooth hair before kissing her forehead. "You must know how much I care for you," he whispered.

"Kaname, my heart holds you in extremely high regards," she smiles. "I only wish to spend more time with the people I love." She rose to raise a hand to the one in her hair, holding it with a tender smile.

"Then may I request you visit my quarters?" he asked her. "I'm afraid I don't leave the dorm much except when I must depart for business. If I sent for you, would you come? For however long I wished?" His eyes were sharp and unwavering from her own.

Her heart gave a surprised lurch at the thought of being alone with Kaname like they used to… except without anyone besides themselves.

"It would be a pleasure," she smiled, a hint of blush on her cheeks. His eyes darted to the slight inflammation, and he inhaled deeply her delicate and delicious aroma.

"Then please, spend the rest of this evening with me," he said.
